Maybe
Had a dr appt on Monday.
Lots of talk of facts and figures and statistics. And medicine.
Very little heart talk.
Left feeling a little less hopeful and a little weepy.
I had just started to feel a peace in God's plan, whatever it is.
Today felt like going backward.
Barely left the parking lot when the tears began.
Then, I looked up, straight at these words..JPG)
May sound ridiculous, but in my gut I felt it was for me.
Had no clue what it meant for me practically.
Sat on it for a day or two, and prayed about it.
Wednesday afternoon, a friend wrote. I had been on her heart.
She asked if she could have a prayer shower for me.
Neither of us admitted to fully knowing what that meant.
But after I explained the dr appt and the sign, it seemed even more right.
And then today, the lima bean that my little boy planted, sprouted.
Not one, as I expected, but two beautiful sprouts..JPG)
Thank you for the encouragement this week, Lord.
Thank you for being right there at every step.
Thank you for your sweet Spirit who helps me see.
Clearly we are learning to love, care, and pray for one another in a deeper way. I love that.
I don't know what the other things mean just yet.
Either way, I know You are right here and have something in store.
And maybe, just maybe, it's one more.

Sundee this is so awesome!! If I wasn't trying to adopt a goofy beagle then I never would have ran into these emails. I love how you are always looking for the small ways God talks to us. It's makes me want to become more of a person with eyes that can see as well.
i don't know why i'm such a basket case lately (i suspect it's because reading through the chronicles of narnia always softens my heart), but i definitely teared up reading this post. praying for God's provision for you, and that you would find joy in accepting whatever that looks like, and whatever the timing might be.
i just reread this post, what, 8 mos after the fact? and the pic of the bean sprouts has me bawling.
